i was 14 and in High school when I heard that DNA affects diseases. I asked my teacher, what if then we change the bad DNA part to a good one to affect the body cells and heal cancer or other diseases? my teacher told me to not think too hard. this video made me cry because it didn't know that this COULD ACTUALLY BE A THING and I wanted to be a scientist to find out how to do it. I wish I could work with scientists one day to perfect this. I study law however.

We are humans - we NEVER use new technologies wisely. We learn from our mistakes and I'm sure we'll create a MESS before we'll use it in a decent way.

It pains me to see how radiant she is, how much excitement she feels about this new technology and the possibilities for its use to cure genetic diseases. And yet, fast-forward to 2021, her technology is mainly used to genetically modify our food chain for the profit and market domination of a few biotech and food industry corporations. And no, GM crops are not feeding the world, we have not seen increased growth in yields since their widespread application.

IDK. I'm skeptical. What comes to my mind is "If it sounds too good to be true, that's because it IS too good to be true." The idea that man can be trusted to use this technology without corrupting it for evil is a fantasy.

Dr. Doudna deserves a Nobel prize for her work on this technology.

This reminds me of the movie, "I am legend", "a cure for cancer" became a problem and mutations began

I’m listening to this in 2020, and I’ve known about Crisper for over three years. I’ll never forget talking about it in my medical ethics class. While I do believe that it can be used for great good, it can also be used for bad. I’d say probably within the next 5 to 8 years you’ll start to see huge advancements and more use of crisper. One of the biggest issues I have with it though is What’s stopping somebody from just making super humans, or genetically superior humans? If you know how to use it properly, an someone pays you a huge amount of money, or a country decides to start secret trials on it, who’s stopping them? No one. Then you have hybrids or “genetically superior humans” walking around the population, then they breed, start a new generation etc.

Yesterday she got the Nobel prize in chemistry...amazed....
@Freedomofchoice123
Who is here after she won Noble prize in chemistry 2020 for her work on Gene editing?
@tsci2218
She's a really good speaker. I love the fact she focuses a lot on ethical implications... a lot of new and advancing technologies really require a lot of thought in how to implement it into public. Lovely talk.
@felixbuns688
I can't say how grateful I am to be born and to have the opportunity to enter the genetic field in such an exciting era of genetic engineering and how much potential there is for this technology. Just finished VCE and planning on doing a major in Genetics after my bachelor of science.
@bilquisrani2255
Her speaking skill is just awesome and I am glad that she won the Nobel prize for her discovery

@adetutukafilatsadiqba5807
Last year, I was in her biology class at UC Berkeley, went to ask her a very simple question about isotopes. Had no idea who she was. She’s amazing! But I’m glad I didn’t know who she was, because I may not have gone to ask that simple question because I was too “shy.”
@SilentRain97
CRISPR is such a huge innovation that can potentially help so many people, but at the same time it's so scary how people could abuse this...

this video changed my life
@endahrosa7963
This technology is great and really promising for therapeutic purposes. But at the same time it's also a bit worrying if people start using it irresponsibly. Truly the ethical issues need to be considered and taken seriously. Since this is a new technology we are yet to see its negative impact.
@workinalday4351
Doudna she works with editing DNA and her name is essentially 'Jennifer Do DNA' so she's been told to Do DNA her entire life, now she has a Nobel prize for it. Should have named my child DouCurrency
